March 2018 Zazenkai Talk (Dogen’s Hokyoki - Part IV)

I thought that we might spend a few months with the text, taking it a few pages at a time. Not all the advice is something one need agree with in modern times, maybe (based on his own later Teachings) some of it even Dogen did not take to heart. However, let us see what we can find. I am going to read from page 21 through the first few lines of 24 today if there is time. It is a grabbag of topics, so let's see what we find. Further reading and discussion for this talk are available on the Treeleaf forum: March 2nd-3rd, 2018 - OUR MONTHLY 4-hour ZAZENKAI! »
